Revised and expanded, the lectures are presented here along with two new essays by Dummett, "Truth: Deniers and Defenders" and "The Indispensability of the Concept of Truth."In Truth and the Past, Dummett clarifies his current positions on the metaphysical issue of realism and the philosophy of language. He is best known as a proponent of antirealism, which loosely characterizes truth as what we are capable of knowing. The events of the past and statements about them are critical tests of an antirealist position. These essays continue and significantly contribute to Dummett's work. 410 0$aColumbia themes in philosophy. 606 $aTruth 606 $aTime 615 0$aTruth. 615 0$aTime. 676 $a121 700 $aDummett$b Michael$f1925-2011.$046435 701 $aBilgrami$b Akeel$0732400 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816017903321 996 $aTruth and the past$93982914 997 $aUNINA
